Get some, Jim!

I don't always agree with Jim Webb (D-VA) but I like and respect him. If there's one man in this country who is qualified to say any damn thing he wants on Veterans' issues, it's Jim Webb.

I got my Vietnam GI Bill benefits - help to get a loan to buy my first house and a check each school month while I learned my trade. I might be dead today if the VA hadn't helped me sober up. I was damn glad to get the help and I'm for damned sure not a "taker" or a "victim".

The newer Veterans, many created by an illegal and unnecessary war, deserve no less than whatever they need.

"... That's US here at the Brain! Sittin' all alone out in the cold, thanklessly freezin' our beboops off, lookin' for a chance to lob a few at the enemy and praying for a secondary explosion, wonderin' if it's all worth it or if it will make any difference in the scheme of things ..." - Gordon
